Even finding a specific field that you do well with, you can often still diversify pretty far within that field.

For example, if you really enjoy web development, you might look into learning other web frameworks you've never used before, both client-side (React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, Ember, etc) and server-side (ASP.NET Core, Django, Rails, Laravel, Phoenix, etc).

Aside from what I mentioned above about projects more often using many different technologies, this makes it more likely that you'll have the set of skills needed by any given employer in your field of choice, and also shows them that you're willing to continue to learn when you need to.
